No. 859 is designed for drying powdered resin in trays. Workspace dimensions of the 550°F (288°C) shelf oven measure 44 x 30 x 60”, and 12 KW are installed in Nichrome wire heating elements.
Blue M industrial ovens have temperature ranges of 27°F (15°C) above ambient to 662°F (350°C). They are designed with semi-perforated walls that allow for tuning of the oven airflow to maximize heating rates and uniformity.
It’s a point of pride that I have every issue of Process Heating ever published cataloged in a small library in my home office. Admittedly, it’s not as tidy as you might find at your local library. I tend to stack issues that I “check out” on the floor in front of the library until it’s time to clean my office. And, while my lazy filing means a career as a bibliophilic cataloger is doubtful, it also provides opportunities for rediscovery.
In an interview with Editor Linda Becker, Despatch Industries’ Rolf Kragseth shares further insights about drying products with solvent loads — the type of drying typically done in Class A ovens.
If an application generates heavy amounts of moisture or involves drying solvents, the role of proper ventilation and the design of the exhaust system must be considered.
Drying applications vary: from drying frac sand — a relatively simply process often performed for screening purposes — to applications like drying wetted primer in ammunition — a process that depends on accurate temperatures sustained over time. Yet, in drying applications from simple to complex, airflow and temperature uniformity makes a difference.
Power and glass are two industries among many where centrifugal fans provide the critical pressures and airflow required for proper process cooling. In any process cooling application where centrifugal fans provide the essential flow and pressure ingredients, proper selection is critical.
Process cooling is the function of removing heat in order to control or maintain appropriate temperature levels. Almost every manufacturing process produces a certain amount of excess heat due to friction or process heating.
An electrically heated, 500°F (260°C) walk-in oven, No. 973 is used to cure rubber parts in rotating baskets. Workspace dimensions measure 36 x 60 x 60”, and 40 KW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements.
Balancing an oven is defined as adjusting or tuning a correctly designed oven to ensure peak performance. Learn how to make sure your convection oven is in balance and optimize your heat processing operations.
Whether starting up a new oven for the first time or trying to determine what your real operating conditions are, it is important to understand oven performance.
